In Hindi movies, “roothna” (sulking) is the preserve of females, and it is the male of the species who has to indulge in the act of “Manaanaa” (appeasement). I have posted many such songs like this in this blog, but it never occured to me to have a separate category for such songs.Now I have thought of this category called “sulking-appeasing song”.
